The second part of this unit started out with three separate stories about foxes. Three stories about Foxes The first story had a great lesson. "Because of my own greediness, I must now go supper less to bed" In this story, the fox would have had a great supper of a hen, but instead he heard something much louder. He decided to go for the thing that was much louder and ended up having to go to bed with nothing in his tummy.
Two tortoise stories
This page has two stories on it. The first story is The Tortoise and the Geese. I have read a story very similar to this one in past units. The poor tortoise does not listen and ends up killing himself. The geese were being very nice to him. This story ends more dramatically than I remember however, it says he was dashed to pieces. That sounds very painful.
The second story includes a tortoise and a scorpion. The tortoise was being a nice friend when the scorpion was trying to sting him without thinking. Between these two stories the tortoise is not having the best day.
The Lion and the Hare
This unit ended with a great story of The Lion and the Hare. I like how it incorporated Baghdad as the neighborhood of many wild animals. Another sad ending for the lion, however.
